Instructions:Research the Balance of Payments (BOP) situation of the US from the period 2008 to 2018.For this case, clearly identify the historical problem with BOP and provide potential solutions or ways to improve the BOP in the future from 2018 to 2028. Consider influences such as US citizens, workers, businesses, investors and government as potential solutions. Focus on one area (example - investors) and provide clear solutions to how these improvements can be achieved through these influences based on research from the textbook and other recent quality academic sources. Include who pays for the solutions you suggest in the implementation section, do not suggest some agency, identify specific groups and their demographics.Content should be between 600 and 900 words with at least three references (the textbook should be one). You must use proper APA citations within the case for information that is not your own. Focus the scope of your response to align with concepts from chapters 3, 4 and 11 from the textbook. It is my expectation that you use the case methodology outlined in the Case Response Expectations folder. Review information in this folder carefully. This methodology will help you to optimize your submission. YOU MUST have all 8 sections of a case: IntroductionAnalysisRelated AssumptionsAlternatives/Solutions (must have at least 3)EvaluationRecommendationImplementationConclusionI highly recommend you outline each section clearly in your case. I expect you to come up with the specific problem statement and provide that in the intro. I also expect you to provide at least 3 clear and reasonable alternatives/solutions to your problem in the alternatives/solutions section.A business case approach is required, and not a traditional academic paper. This implies short, directed paragraphs, with a strong structure. Use many headings and topic sentences for every paragraph. Chapter PowerPoints will be attached for reference.

For your final assignment, you will be doing the leading on identifying a film that helps us understand leadership. For this exercise, place yourself in the role of a manger interested in demonstrating aspects of leadership and its importance to your team. Your objective is not to tell them about why leadership is important or why they should respect you as a leader. Rather your objective is to train the team you lead as leaders. You will be submitting a short introductory paper to your training program as well as the training material itself which could take the form of a narrated PowerPoint, a short film, or even a series of guided conversation. The training program might deconstruct specific scenes, the behaviors s of the characters or even how characters respond to circumstances. All of these choices are yours. There are a few steps that are important. Step 1. Select a film that you find interesting but is not one of the films we used in the course. It should be a film that you enjoy or covers a topic that is important or even a person that you admire. The film can be a documentary or a work of fiction. But it must be a film that we did not use in this course. Answer the following about the film:What is the Name of the Film? (AMERICAN GANGSTER)Who is the director of the film? (RIDLEY SCOTT)Briefly provide a synopsis of the film (about 300 words) describing what the film is about. Use your own words. Do not copy resources like IMDB. It is important you organize this synopsis from your point of view.Step 2. You have already done the readings from the chapters of the text for the course. Select three theories/sections of the assigned chapters that compose the points you want to get across in your training . For example, you could choose The Ohio State Studies, PAth-Goal Theory and Trait Theory. What it important is that the combination can be taught in a short training session with a team of employees after they view the films. State in the introductory paper the sections your are covering and how they apply in the film. Note: This is not the training- it is more a summary. Step 3. Describe briefly in your introductory paper how the film addresses or improves organizational culture? What does the film help your team understand about organizational culture? Again this is not the training just go right the point in about 150 words. For example, you could write about Lincoln, the film helps the team understand not only the role of the leader on the team but the importance of individuals honoring one another respectfully. Lincoln builds a culture of respect among his staff and shows teams how respect is a powerful means to accomplish their objectives in the longer term . Step 4. Select a specific scene of the film you select and provide a detailed analysis (include this in the introductory paper but this becomes the introduction to your training program. Make sure you cover the following:Why is the scene important for understanding leadership?How does the scene invite a team member to become a better leader.Guidance: It really doesn’t matter what the film is. This is about putting together a training intervention for your team. Remember that you are using the film to help the team understand that main point of leadership you want to communicate in Step 2. You are also using the film to help model behavior for employees. If you can locate a copy of the relevant scene on a platform like YouTube, include the link. It will make your analysis easier to place in context.
